CHAPTER 28
.
.
Gwennie’s POV
.
.
“I want it delivered to him immediately” Mrs Michel said after giving her glasses an adjustment..
she’s done that like ten times now and honestly it’s frustrating.
“Yes ma’am” I said..moving out of the heavy scented office I reached the stairs ran down..
Getting down I let out the frustrated sigh I’ve been holding since she gave me those instructions.
how could she start my morning this way..
sending me to the freak’s office few minutes after my arrival..
And for christ sake what’s so important in those files that she needed him to have it urgently..
I sighed again and walked to my class.
Moving into the class I walked to my seat and took my instrument bag after giving a quick glance at Jay whose focus seem to be on his mobile..pulling the zipper down I took out the file, it looked more like a catalogue..
Carefully opening it to be sure it was truly it I nodded with satisfaction..
Mr Alexander .j. McCormick
The cover paper read..I flipped through a page curiously and saw his certificate which had certain things about him..
I peered downwards.
Age: 25
P.O.B: California..
I quickly clamped it together when I realized what I was doing, pulling my hair back I moved to away from my seat.
“Gwen” i heard Hailey voice and I faced her with a questioning look.
“Huh?”
“Going somewhere?”
“Yup..gotta deliver this to Alex”
“Can I tag along?”
She said with one of those puppy eyes.
“Sure..if you want to” I said..she tucked her phone in her p-nt pocket after standing then moved to me.
“Can I tag along too?”Guy asked raising his head from a comic book
“No..you can’t” Hailey was quick to reply before dragging me out of the class.
We moved to the stairs.
“I’ll race you to the second floor” she said.
“No I’m..
she had already jumped two stairs before I could complete the sentence..I sighed and ran up the stairs too.
Getting to the upper floor we both caught out breath..we actually planned racing to the second floor but she wouldn’t stop so I had to follow..
“Yay! I won” she p-nted.
“Yeah..great news” I rolled my eyes.
“I still won..admit it”
“How about a payment..I’ll let you deliver this file to Alex since you have this diehærd crush for him” I said.
She smiled.
“Nice offer” she took the file from me and moved ahead..
I sighed and rested on the rail then watched as she knocked and moved in moment later.
I nervously scratched my hair as I wondered what Alex would do to her seeing she was a girl..I hope he won’t try anything stupid..like trying to k-ss or flirt with her coz he seem to love doing that..it was like his passion, I guess.
And Hailey…oh Hailey I’m pretty sure she’d fall for his tricks especially since she liked him..I just hope-
my thought were disrupted when I sighted Hailey coming out of the office..
huh..
I narrowed my both eyebrows in confusion.
That was quicker than I expected..not even enough time to share a quick k-ss..
or didn’t he do anything to her..wasn’t he in his office..
“Wow girl..that guy just keep getting hotter” Hailey exclaimed as she reached me.
“That was quick” I said.
“Yeah..I just dropped the file then he told me to go..
“Wait..he told you to go.. like Alexander told you to go after dropping the file?” I asked sharply cutting her off.
“um..yes, why do you sound surprised?”
“Coz I am,it’s kinda not believable”
“Why?”
“Seriously Hailey Alex didn’t draw you back, slap your ass, k-ss you or flirt with you?” I asked..suddenly not being able to contend it..
“Geez Gwen..Alex’s not that kind of person..he’s one of the strictest, humble, polite, honest and brilliant staffs here..that’s why he’s the head of the seniors department” she said and I almost scoffed at it.
“That’s impossible!”
“It’s true..Alex’s not much of a talker..I don’t think he’s a flirt either, oh hold on..are you asking because of what happened at the concert show?”
“Um..yes”
“That’s how it has always been..we look at the beat, beat is the real tone, not all the time lyrics..Alex’s the best babe, he’s more calmer than you think” she said..
OK is she exaggerating or something..
are those attitude really qualifying that guy..
if it is then he’s one hell of a chameleon and a hypocrite.
“come-on G..we’ve got practicals and test” Hailey said and practically dragged me to the stairs.
But I just couldn’t get those thoughts..none of those qualities seem to go to Alex in my own opinion and right now I’m beginning to regret ever taking that offer..
Alex’s the best’
The word rang again..
I mentally slapped it out and moved behind Hailey into the class.

Alex’s POV

.
I packed the paperwork in my laptop bag then carefully slung it to my shoulder, I picked my instrument bag on my hand then used the free one to tap on the telephone ☎️ on the table..
“Hello sir” I heard the other voice.
“Alex McCormick… I’m moving out now” I said
“OK.. I’ll come up later.. Thanks”
I hung off and set the phone back on it’s cradle then moved out.. Getting to the corridor.
“Alex!”
I sighed hearing that voice..then looked back.
“Hey gabby” I called in a surprise like I had no idea she was the one.
“Going home without me?” She planted a light k-ss on my cheek since we both knew anyone could just passby.
“Was about coming to your quarters”
“Well I’m here now.. Let’s go” she said.
“Um Gabby.. I don’t think I can go to LA chezzy’s I’ve got to go home” I said recollecting the promise I made to Daisy about coming home early today and the pinky swear that we exchanged in the process.
Regardless of how tempting Gabriella’s offer was I just didn’t have that heart to turn Daisy down.. I promised to bake cookies with her.
“OK then… Let’s go”
“You want a drop off?”
“Nope” she shook her head “I’m going home with you” she said.
Huh..
I’m pretty sure today’s plan with Anne might not totally go the way we both wanted coz Gabby would be a hindrance or maybe a distraction but regardless I know today might kinda not go as it should.. Now I know why Anne doesn’t like her coming home with me.
I smiled.
“Really.. Why?”
“I’ve missed you and besides there’s no harm in seeing Letitia and… ” she raised a brow “what’s her name again? ”
“Joanne?”
“Yeah.. I’ve missed her too”
“OK then”
We both head to the parking lot with her chatting about some random stuff that I mostly didn’t pay attention to.
Getting to my car I pulled the passenger door open for her, watching as she slipped in I threw my loads to the back seat then I got to the drivers side, pulled open the door, closed it, ins**ted the key in it’s ignition then drove off..
“I’ve missed you so much Alex..it’s been hell without you” Gabby whispered as I took a u-turn.
I gave her a quick glance then faced the road.
“But we saw just last night”
“I know but I just wish you’re always with me”
“not possible babe..I’m not an idle person you know”
“uhhnn” she grumbled.
I felt her hand on my laps slowly car-ssing it..
“Gabby..stop, I’m driving” I said.
“So..am I distracting you?” she asked..
I shook my head.
“Just stop it Gabriella” I said
she pouted, crossed her arm then balanced back on the seat.
Pulling in front of the garage once I got to my building I stopped the car, pulled out the key, got down, opened the passenger’s seat for Ella then watched her get down..
I moved to the backseat, pulled the door open then took out my bags..
Moving into the porch with Ella behind me I knocked twice on the door..
“Oh yo- Alex! it’s you-
her voice trailed off and I watched her eyed Ella “and Gabriella..been a while miss” she said..
It was pretty obvious nanny didn’t really like her, same goes to Anne..
According to Anna she acts like the boss of me and she smells of rat perfume..
funny kiddo..
right?
I smiled and moved in as nanny moved aside, getting into the living room..
Anne ran from the kitchen with her hand, hair and pink dress covered In some white powdery substance..
“Uncle Alex!” she yelled..Hugging me and ugh-
rubbing her whitish covered hand on my suit.
“You came early!”
I lifted her up..
“I promised sweet…why are you covered in-
“Actually it’s flour and powdered milk..she wanted to mix the dough before you get back-
“Because I knew you’d be hungry and tired” she sharply cut nanny off.
“Um hey Joelle” Gabby greeted.
“It’s Joanne” she eyed her with those small puppy eyes “And hey to you too…why are you here?” Joanne asked .
“Anne that’s not nice..she wanted to see you, it’s not proper to speak that way to a friend..apologize” I said giving her a frown.
“But-
“No buts Anne what’d I tell you about courtesy?” I said.
“I’m sorry miss” she apologized..
I didn’t know if she meant it though coz I couldn’t see those apologetic sober expression.
“So we can bake right?”
“No Anne..your uncle Alex seem to have a guest, come-on I’ll run a bath for you then we’d bake the biscuits together” nanny said and stretched her arm to take Anne from me but she obliged.
“But you make a pinky promise with me uncle..you promised to bake with me” Anne pouted.
I sighed.
“No worries nanny..I’m not busy at all” I said..
Anne smiled.
“And lest I forget your parent called few hours ago-
“They did?”
“Actually your mom did, she said she’s been trying your line but it wasn’t going through” she said..
“But there’s nothing wrong with my line…BTW what does she want?”
“She said she needs to discuss an important issue with you over lunch tomorrow” nanny said.
“Oh OK..I’ll give her a call later..thanks” I said..
“Miss Gabby are you staying for lunch?”
“Oh..no ma’am Letitia..I’m not” gabby said with a smile.
“OK then” nanny said and moved to the kitchen.
“Um cupcake..why don’t you keep mixing the dough while I change into something more ‘bake worthy’?”
“OK uncle..is miss gabby baking with us?”
“umI’m not, I’ll just have a few words with your uncle then I’ll leave” she said.
“Fair enough” she smiled and jumped down.
“Will be back cuppy” I gave her a quick peck on her forehead.
I picked my bags which I left earlier on the couch then walked to my room with gabby still behind me..getting into my room she quickly locked the door..
“Shush!.. one hell of a Blabber beak” she exclaimed throwing her purse to the bed.
I chuckled.
“Always been Anne” I said and dropped the bags on my bed then loosened my tie which suddenly started choking me.
“Want me to help you undress?” Gabriella stood in front of me with a smile..
Oh please..
“Um..no, I can manage” I said.
“sure?” she placed both hand on my shoulder.
I shook my head at her
“What exactly do you want gabby?” I asked.
“You know what I want” she said biting her lower lip sed-ctively..
“You don’t expect us to have it here, nanny and Anne can come in anytime”
“Who cares?”
really?
“I do” I said “And besides what we’re doing isn’t right..it’s high time we stop it”
she frowned.
“What..but why, are you mad at me?” she asked sadly..
“No gabby I’m not mad at you-
“Did I do something wrong?”
“No..but what we’re doing is so wrong, I mean two people having s€× without having a thing for each other..isn’t it weird”
“I don’t care Alex” she said softly “I just want you”
“You should care Gabby, you should..you’ll be the victim eventually everything turn out in places” I said shifting from her.
“But why are you doing this Alex…why now, I really need you babe” she came to me.
“Don’t you get it gabby, I’m doing this for your own good..we both know what we’re doing isn’t proper and besides-
“Alex…” her finger splayed on my bare flesh car-ssing it..her hand moved up and down my hand.
“Let’s call it friends with benefit” she softly whispered.
“That doesn’t even make sense” I swiftly moved away from her.
“It doesn’t have to babe..we both want each other, there’s no two ways about it”
“Gab-
her index finger rested on my l-ips and she moved to me.
“I don’t want you to love me Alex, as a matter of fact I’m slowly losing interest in the love I have for you..I just want you..I want you so much” she k-ssed my neck.
“Please Alex..use me, I don’t care but please don’t leave me..at least not now, just keep doing what we’ve been doing until you get a girl..a true girl that have same thing you have for her” she ran her tongue through the place her l-ips had touched.
“I promise we’ll quit all this shit once you or I get a partner..but for now, I’m so addicted to how you make me feel, I’m not ready to lose it just yet..please Alex I promise we’ll stop but don’t live me in my dire moment” her hand snuggled round my neck..
“Gabby stop!” I threw her hands down and shifted back.
“it’s better we stop now so we can both get to find love..if we keep doing this then maybe just maybe we might not stop”
“I promise we will my love..I promise you, we’ll stop after awhile just don’t leave me alone Alex…I want you” she said.
“Gab-
I shut my eyes when I noticed her arm wrapped around my wa-ist and her l-ips car-ssing my lower jaw.
“Gabby” I mumbled but her grip tightened.
“Gabriella stop!” I finally pushed her off.. “Why are you being so obnoxious..the hell gabby you’re much more matured than this, stop trying to get attention from me when they’re many guys who’d lick your feet just to have you..stop making yourself look so cheap G..it’s really frustrating.
Silence followed.
“Alex!” I senses the hint of sadness and hurt in her voice “How dare you?”
she shifted away..
Shit..I cursed..
“Gabby-
I made to move but she shifted away..
“I can’t believe you said that to me” a tear dropped and I almost punched my jaw for it.
I just loosed control..I really didn’t mean it the way they came out.
My jaw clenched and my fist tightened in a round hærd ball..
“Gab-
“You’re despicable Alex..you-you’re-
she gulped and blinked her eyes..
“Gabriella really I’m-
“I’d stop being a bitch..thanks for being sincere, you have no idea how much you’ve made my day Alex McCormick..no idea at all” she bent and picked her purse from the bed then quickly wiped a tear.
“I’m sorry..i-i-i didn’t mean it that way, I swear” I made to touch her but she shifted then moved to the door.
“Gabby”
she opened the door and moved out swiftly before I could reach out to her..
“F-ck! F-ck..dang it!” I cursed and hit my fist on the wooden table..
feeling the sharp pain it sent to my bones and watching the table creek a little I ran my hand on my hair and dumped myself on the bed..
shit!
I was simply trying to call it a quit and I ended up shiting it up and making it all worst..I really didn’t mean it that way..
I ruffled my hair and stared at my now red knuckles..
What do I do now..
F-ck!
